The Crows can finish the minor rounds as high as 7th provided they defeat the Pies and Hawthorn wins their tough match against the Swans on Sunday at the SCG. A league position as low as 12th is still mathematically attainable, but highly unlikely due to Adelaide's high percentage of 109.
Chris Knights is a welcome inclusion into this weeks line up after missing the previous game against Brisbane. Knights has the 4th highest disposal count for the season and has established himself as one of the clubs prime young midfielders. Michael Doughty has been omitted despite a strong performance against Brisbane to make way for Knights.
A surprise addition is Jonathon Griffin who replaces the omitted John Meesen. Griffin has not played since Adelaide's loss to Geelong. He'll be looking to produce some good form heading into the finals to solidify his spot in the team.
In other news, the Crows will join the rest of the leagues players in giving Channel Seven the silent treatment. Seven has refused to apologise for leaking information about unnamed drug users in the competition. The information was obtained in a somewhat questionable manner and the AFL Players Association has taken a hardline stance by asking all players not to answer any questions from Seven.
With the season on the line and the possibility of this being Mark Ricciutos last game, the Crows should be fired up and get over the line. Let's hope they can do it for Roo.

Now my friends, that there was finals football. None of this run around without an opponent, pick up multitude of possesions, and kick big scores (take a note Power Puffs.
When the big games are played it's man on man, in close stuff, with low scores. In other words,
Crows football, finals football, winning football.
No one wants to play us now, I can guarantee you that. See ya all next week, for another fine win interstate.
Let's hope it's night game.
